Health notes
Soft dark confection is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The primary components, cocoa and sugar, have been studied for various health effects. Cocoa contains flavonoids, which are antioxidants, but the health benefits of chocolate are often debated and depend on the amount of sugar and fat present. JECFA has evaluated cocoa and cocoa products, establishing acceptable daily intakes for certain components. Excessive consumption of sugar and fat in confectionery can contribute to health issues.
